The third annual Redmond Lights Chili Cook-Off is scheduled for Saturday, December 3 at Redmond Town Center (new location). As a new twist this year, the festival planning committee is recruiting interested restaurants and sponsors for the Chili Cook-Off contest.

Entry into the competition is free with all participants providing a minimum of 2500 free samples of chili to compete for bragging rights and their business name on the City’s home page for one week after the event. All entries will be judged by the public and a winner will be announced at the conclusion of Redmond Lights.

The Chili Cook-Off is part of the Redmond Lights celebration which begins at City Hall Campus at 4pm, continues along the Sammamish River Trail and then concludes at Redmond Town Center with the Chili Cook-Off, music, and children’s activities from 5 to 8pm.
